Full Critique for Driffield 2015
Judge : Mr Ken Roberts
This critique reflects the judge's opinion
based on what they saw on the day of the show.
| My thanks to the exhibitors who accepted my decisions sportingly on the day . On the whole presentation was good but I felt in some cases coat may have been more important than exercise to some, Shih Tzu should be allowed to run free muscle tone was lacking in some. In some classes first and second stood out but I found it harder to place below this. On the whole I felt the quality of the breed was not as good as when I have previously judged |
